Old skool RiotACT fave Amber Westin has returned to the pages of the Canberra Times.
Amber is banned from driving until 2017 after killing Heather Freeman in a haze of drug driving in Woden:
but was caught in August last year when police spotted her talking on her mobile phone as she drove down Petterd Street in Page.
The Macquarie woman gave police officers a false name and told them she had just arrived in Canberra from Victoria.
She pleaded guilty to charges of driving disqualified, driving with a mobile phone and giving false information.
Westin’s defence lawyer told the court her client had gone to the Hawker shops to collect methadone before driving to her mother’s home in Macquarie.
Magistrate Grant Lalor appears to have taken great pleasure in labelling Ms Westin’s driving “contumacious“.
On receiving her four month custodial sentence she banged her head on the table until she had a fit, which no doubt will be taking up court time soon as a reason for her early release.
